08. Once we reach our destination, will it be safe or are there dangers in space such as asteroids and aliens? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

To date, we have not found any aliens, although, we have numerous ways to monitor asteroid and other space material movement. Any asteroid that would come close enough to a low Earth orbit (LEO) spacecraft is a very serious danger to everybody on Earth. Asteroids pose no more danger in space than they do here on Earth.
